unwilling to be oppressed one more day

Venezuela people felt powerless
for over twenty years
no one wanted to step up
until someone did
taking the risk of being jailed or killed
unsure of the outcome
but unwilling to be oppressed one more day
people saw this leader and took to the streets
demanding change, demanding justice
demanding a new outcome, a new Venezuela
one voice became many
